(SFi): Special Feature

Fetching left and wide for people I admire to showcase. Exceptional people who are interesting and tantamount talents in their respective fields. No longer rookies, a stellar career is already under way.

SFi (Special Feature issues) is a self-curation experiment whereas invitees pick ten of their favorite projects to show. Added to their showcase, a minimalist interview consisting of the same three questions, which they answer in a sincere and vulnerable way giving us insights into their creative life, the struggles met and overcomed and what next they aspire to do.

3 Questions, 10 works and some interesting bits of information. A quick and fun read!
